Do Not Call Lists

      ?!?WHAT?!?

All of a sudden, I'm getting calls from solicitors, not Sarah Palin, wanting to sell me anything and everything.  The "Do Not Call" form on the computer has a link wherein you can file a complaint.  The form asks if you requested removal.  BUT...these wise #!!**&#!s have circumvented the ruling in this fashion:  When you pick up the phone, you hear nothing.  When you say, "Hello," the taped message begins and it does NOT identify the company.  When you request removal from their list, the call is immediately disconnected.  Therefore, you can't name them on the complaint form.  If you try to redial the number, you get a "Not In Service" message.  All I can suggest is that you say nothing if you have Caller ID and don't recognize the number, but that doesn't mean they won't try later.  If anyone has a suggestion or 3, kindly pass it along.
